Overview

  • Flacco was acquired from the Browns this week and is set to start on short notice over Jake Browning, who struggled with Joe Burrow sidelined since Week 2 with a toe injury.
  • Ja'Marr Chase was listed as questionable due to an illness but is expected to be active against Green Bay, according to multiple reports.
  • Kickoff at Lambeau Field is 4:25 p.m. ET, with television coverage on CBS and in-market streaming on Paramount+.
  • A win would give Flacco a rare feat cited by ESPN's Adam Schefter: starting and defeating the same opponent for two different teams in the same season after beating Green Bay in Week 3 with Cleveland.
  • Before finalizing the Flacco trade, the Bengals conducted a wide QB search that included inquiries about Davis Mills, Sam Howell and retired Saint Derek Carr, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
